Not so sure about white specifically but this is what I do:

I use a 3-4 step process depending on the amount of time I have.

Wash - once a week
Showcar Glaze ( Mirror Glaze ) - once every two months
Jet Seal (Chemical guys) -once every 1.5 months
HI-Tec Yellow Wax M26 (Mirror Glaze)Great shine, doesnt dry white, easy on/off - once every two weeks

Tips on washing:
To minimize fine scratches I was in one direction with a wash mitt. Use one mitt for the top half of the car and another one for the bottom half. When I dry the car I lay the towel on top of the car and let it absorb the water, no rubbing involved. I'll usually rub my hands over the towel while the towel stays stationary. All these things really help to minimize the fine scratches in the clear coat.

I have been using this technique for years. My last M3 everyone would comment that it looked brand new even after fours years. I'll continue the same process with my new M3.
